At my workplace we make instruments. So they decided on military naming on the subsequent projects-alpha, beta, gamma, and so on so that the final product could be rebranded by the marketing group. Except that at some point they realized each project has an alpha, upgraded alpha, beta and upgraded beta stage.

So the names ended up being things like "upgraded alpha gamma" and "upgraded beta alpha" and so on. So then they decided things should be named "nextgen" which is great until you have two projects, one an upgraded beta nextgen and one an alpha nextgen going on at the same time. You should see the final names the Marketing group gives the products. It is hysterical and would have you rolling laughing for hours.

So the take home lesson-pick your names carefully. Name them after strippers.
